SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 10, 2001, the Department published the antidumping duty
order on honey from Argentina. See Order, 66 FR at 63672. Thus, the
antidumping duty order on honey from Argentina has a December
anniversary month. On January 3, 2011, the Department received a timely
filed request dated December 31, 2010, for a new shipper review from
Villamora. In its request for a review, Villamora identified itself as
an exporter of the subject merchandise. For the purpose of initiating
this new shipper review, the Department determines that Villamora's
submission was timely filed.
Pursuant to the requirements set forth in section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2), Villamora certified that (1) it
did not export subject merchandise to the United States during the
period of investigation (POI) (see section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i)); and (2) since the initiation of the
investigation, it has never been affiliated with any company that
exported subject merchandise to the United States during the POI,
including those companies not individually examined during the
investigation (see section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A)). Additionally, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iv), Villamora submitted documentation establishing the
following: (1) The date on which it first shipped subject merchandise
to the United States; (2) the volume of its first shipment; and (3) the
date of its first sale to an unaffiliated purchaser for exportation to
the United States. Villamora also stated it had no shipments to the
United States during the period subsequent to its first shipment.
Initiation of Review
Based on information on the record and in accordance with section
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.214(d), we find that the
request submitted by Villamora meets the statutory and regulatory
requirements for initiation of a new shipper review. See Memorandum to
the File, through Angelica L. Mendoza, Program Manager, regarding
``Initiation of the Antidumping
[[Page 5333]]
Duty New Shipper Review: Honey from Argentina,'' dated January 25,
2011. Accordingly, we are initiating a new shipper review of the
antidumping duty order on honey from Argentina exported by Villamora,
for the period December 1, 2009, through November 30, 2010. We intend
to issue the preliminary results of this review no later than 180 days
after the date on which this review is initiated, and the final results
within 90 days after the date on which we issue the preliminary
results. See section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(h)(i).
We will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to allow,
at the option of the importer, the posting, until the completion of the
review, of a bond or security in lieu of a cash deposit for certain
entries of the subject merchandise exported by Villamora in accordance
with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(e).
Because Villamora certified that it exports the subject merchandise,
the sale of which forms the basis for its new shipper review request,
we will instruct CBP to permit the use of a bond only for entries of
subject merchandise which Villamora exported.
Interested parties may submit applications for disclosure under
administrative protective order in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and
351.306.
This initiation and this notice are issued and published in
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214 and
351.221(c)(1)(i).
Dated: January 25, 2011.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
